TLDRly.AI ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how we share it—across all TLDRly services and platforms.

5. Your Controls and Choices

You control when and how your data is processed. Specifically:

• You initiate content processing features manually.

6. Security Measures

We use industry-standard practices to protect your data, including:

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via the TLDRly website or email (if you've registered an account). Continued use of our services after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
